What type of renewable energy is a dam?
Hydro energy
Does the Hoover Dam use solar energy?
No, it produces hydro-electric energy, though solar energy was used to get the water recycled from the oceans into the dam.
Why are turbines placed at the bottom of a dam?
To make hydro-electric energy.
What is the purpose of a hydro electric dam?
to generate electricity by utilizing energy of falling water
What type of energy does water behind a dam have?
Heat from the sun evaporates water. Uneven heating of the earth's surface causes wind to blow clouds up into the mountains. Rain falls on the mountains and makes its way down the mountain into streams which fill the lake behind a dam.
Where is hydroelectric energy found?
Where is hydroelectric energy generated?Hydroelectric energy, being electricity generated from a hydro (water) source, usually a hydro-electric dam, can be found anywhere on the electrical grid.
What are disadvantages of hydro power energy?
You would have to build a dam, which could mess with the flow of the river.
Does the US use solar energy?
No, it produces hydro-electric energy, though solar energy was used to get the water recycled from the oceans into the dam.
What is the disadvantage of using water energy?
"water energy" = Hydro electricity. Depending where the dam is, it can be detrimental to the environment. Also, nuclear is cheaper.
What type of energy is hydroelpower?
Hydro means fluid power and in this case that fluid is flowing water, usually a dam. el is electric So, hydro electric power or hydroelpower is electricity generated using flowing water from a dam.
What type of energy is potentail energy?
Potential energy is the state of matter in which it is not at rest, or at its lowest state. A charged battery has potential energy, as does the water behind an hydro dam.
Is hydro electric energy from the sun?
no it's from water, they send the water through a dam which has turbines in it and the water turns the turbines generating energy.
